Title: Unemployment
Post by: rc1790 on September 11, 2020, 04:18:36 AM
The website says the 300 will start the week of 9/14. Hopefully we will still get the previous weeks. We won't be claiming the week of 9/14.

We are entitled to it because it's retro pay from all the Sunday's in August

They are sending out emails tomorrow informing you if you are entitled to the benefit.
Title: Re: Unemployment
Post by: Hammer2161 on September 11, 2020, 01:08:26 PM
From what I have read you will only be getting an email if they need additional information. If you have already stated that you were unemployed due to covid the payment will be automatic.

No ... just got an email telling me I was pre-qualified. And this ...

"At the present time, the Federal government has only made funding available for the benefit weeks ending August 2nd, 9th, and 16th. Eligible New Yorkers will receive $300 for each of those weeks that they were unemployed. If the federal government makes funding available for additional weeks, we will notify you."

Title: Important Update from NYS DOL on the Lost Wages Assistance Program
Post by: WigWag on September 11, 2020, 04:35:22 PM
Just got this e-mail from NYS DOL

Dear New Yorker:

As you may be aware, New York State has been approved for the Lost Wages Assistance (LWA) program, which will provide $300 in additional weekly unemployment benefits to New Yorkers. Payments will begin next week.

Under federal guidelines, benefits are only available to individuals who are unemployed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on information you have previously provided to the DOL, you are pre-qualified for the LWA program. You do not need to take any additional action to receive these funds.

At the present time, the Federal government has only made funding available for the benefit weeks ending August 2nd, 9th, and 16th. Eligible New Yorkers will receive $300 for each of those weeks that they were unemployed. If the federal government makes funding available for additional weeks, we will notify you.

Once again, you are pre-qualified for the LWA program and do not need to take any additional action at this time. To allow your fellow New Yorkers to reach a representative for regular UI or PUA matters, please do not call the DOL to inquire about the LWA program at this time.

Thank you.

Having the same issue I have 2 payments of 300 for 8/2 and 8/9 missing the 16th. I also had to open a new book the week of 8/9 i think if anyone opened a new book during this 3 week process you will be missing some of your payments...on the phone with UP atm trying to clear it up.

We will not see any money in our bank accounts till tomorrow morning. The money was released on the  unemployment website but hasn't been dispersed from the banks. I am thinking best bet is to wait till tomorrow morning and hopefully it's all there.

Also if you opened a new claim at anytime during the 3 weeks in question more than likely you are unable to see both claims. So it's a wait and see game for now.

Much like our return to work date !!!!

Post by: rc1790 on September 17, 2020, 08:02:01 PM
On hold now waiting for a supervisor. I believe the system does not recognize a waiting week. My missing week is from opening a new book. They have to adjust my date to get the missing week.
Title: Re: Unemployment
Post by: rc1790 on September 17, 2020, 09:48:58 PM
After 2 1/2 hours, I was told that for the week of 8/2 I am not getting the LWA because it was a waiting week. Go figure. Even though the waiting week was waived for regular unemployment. This was a level 3 supervisor. If anyone has a better outcome post it.

What else is going to go wrong in 2020. Yesterday morning the unemployment site showed me getting the 300 dollars for all 3 weeks and that it was released on 9/17/20. Checked my bank just now and there is no deposit. I'll bet it was another glitch yeah that's it a fucking glitch. :head_wall: :head_wall: :head_wall: :head_wall:

Listen to this....A low life from UI just hung up on me. I said listen I was pre qualified nothing was released yesterday or today. She was like they were delayed till Monday I said uhhh no it was released yesterday I know people that it did she goes it's impossible I said no but it is I saw it she said no it's impossible I said uhhhh ok put me through to a level 2 agent and she goes uhhhhhh and clicked on me. I called back a few times later and got this guy Bob and he stated that this is a continual rolling list so if you didn't get it yesterday or today you should get it within the next week or so because it's basically a random rolling list....so take that for what it's worth

Post by: Hammer2161 on September 18, 2020, 04:03:38 PM
That is great news Proud Member but for many of us it showed our money released as of 9/17/20 and as of right this moment it's not in my bank account. Usually we see it the following day after it's released.

Starting to feel like this is all a game to the powers that be !!!!

Probably the governor holding on to it as long as he can to keep the damn interest. This is a joke.
